THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

1t is only few days, comparatively
speaking, since the anti-secret society
cranks of the United States met in SOL
emn conclave in Chicago to discuss the
evils of secret societies and the best
means Of counteracting their Influence.
This society of "antis" was from all
parts OF the union. 1t was nationwide
In its inclusiveness, and all that the
country ever heard about II was that 1t
met and adjourned. Here, in San AntO-
MO, today. We find something that may
fttingly be set forth as counterpoise to
that Chicago fiasoo. This gathering rep
resents one only of the denounced secret
societies, for whose condemnation the
Chicago convention was held. This or
der, the X. of p, is the youngest OF the
three great secret orders OF this country.
This gathering in San Antonio today
represents only the Texas section of the
great army Of knights enrolled
under this banner; and yet this
gathering OF Texas Knights of
Pythias is more numerous than
than the national gathering Of anti-se-
cret society representatives that con-
yened SO recently at Chicago. Look on
this picture and then on that. AS these
men, representing but one company of
the youngest regiment in the great bril-
gsde of secret beneficiary societies file
past today, remember this fact. Multi
ply this Texas contingent, which only
represents the captains OF the Texas X.
OF 2 host, by every state and territory
In this vast union; multiply the national
body of Knights OfPythias by nearly, If
not fully, score Of other societies
secretly banded together to help each
other In the battle of life, and consider
what likelihood there Is of these sOcie-
ties being driven from their positions
and their numbers scattered to the four
winds or heaven by demonstration
such as was made at Chicago. Why
should the churchmen wage war on
these societies. There is nothing In
their ritual or laws, or benevolent work,
or fraternal service, or bonded obliga-
tions, innimical to society, or sntsgonis-
tic to the church, which is itself great
secret cOnclaye. The Knights Of Pythias
a-e worthy members Of that great broth
erhoOd OF which Blue Lodge masonry
is the Oldest representative, and in wei
coming them to San Antonio they re-
ceive hearty recognition as men who
represent a worthy principle and in
whom the virtues Of sterling manhood
are assiduously inOulCated, both by pre-
cept and example.

RELIEF DONATIONS NEEDED.

The eliefcommittee appointed at the
public meeting held one week ago last
Saturday night, have pushed their work
OF enquiry most vigorously. The re-
suits of that enquiry were set before the
readers OF the LIGHT In yesterdays issue.
The committee require. the sum OF S., 800
Immediately to meet the wants OF those
whose cases are already known, and con-
corning whose real destitution there can
not be any question. 1t is not necessary
nor desirable that you withhold your
aid until called upon by the sub-com-
mittee. Anything you can give should
be given Immediately and at as little
trouble to the committee as 10 possible.
Lockwood & Kampmann's bank is head
quarters for the relief committee. Mr..
j. 5. Lockwood Is president Of the relief
board and any payments made there
would be most gladly received. The
people OF San Antonio have appoint
ed this committee. They have done
an immense amount of work in prosecu-
ting their enquiries, and the members of
the committee have given generously as
well. Let the citizens remember that
shls relief asked is based upon positive
knowledge Of the necessities of the
drouth sufferers, Of which the committee
have documentary evidence. Make IL a
point to give something. Give that
something cheerfully and unhesitatinRly
without farther solicitation. Walk nm to
the counter Of the bank and call for Mr..
Lockwood, and, notwithstanding his
pressing business engagements, he will
see that your contribution is received
and duly credited to the relief fund

Against Prohibition,

The St. Joseph's Catholic Benevolent
Society held a meeting yesterday and
among other business, took the seEse Of
the l04 members OF the society on the
prohibition question. The following res
OlutiOn was adopted:
Resolved, That we earnestly protest
against the enactment of any sumptuary
laws that would rob citizen of his con-
stitutional, religious and social rights
and liberties guaranteed to him under
the present constitution of the United
States OF America. We accord 10, and
believe that every human being should
be allowed to serve his God a. q enjoy
the liberty OF his daily pursuits as his
conscience dictates TO him without mo-
lestatiOn. We believe that no good can
result by enforcement of prohibition and
that thereby hypocrisy and contempt OF
the laws and authority would be encOur-
aged. II drunkenness is considered
crime, then we have ample and ade-
quate laws on our statute books to pun
ish the same. Therefore, we are against
prohibition and ask and urge every
member of this society TO use all honor
able means in his power to defeat the
measure, by casting his vote on election
day against the amendment.

TO SOME IRISH sYMpArHIzERs.

"These spend their time in giving laws
To distant worlds, and triillng with
their OwD."
-[Cowper.
To gobble up the Irish vote
The blarney stone some lick,
In empty phrases, learned by rote,
That make my stomach sick.
They talk like England old was blind,
And void of sense Of right,
And would inform their mothers mind,
Restore the old danes sight.
While even in Texas, a rich domain
Do foreign landlords hold,
That would all Ireland contain,
Worth all OF England's gold.
By corporations owned that pay
No taxes on their spoil,
And alien capitalists, away,
That never trod her soil.
And some who helped to make those
laws,
Which bring to Erin's state.
Are first and foremost in her cause
TO weep for Erin's fate.
Now, Uncle Samuel. don't go wild;
Learn first thyself TO rule,
For England is no chick or child,
Nor grown quite yet fool.

LINCOLN.
APRIL ID. 1865

The sombre streamers floating from the
many public places,
And masts OF every nation, "a by, n
hearse In sable passes,
Proclaim to all the land, as on the state
ly columns tread,
The great and sOrrowing fact, true
and hOnOred man is dead;
As there we see mourning people,
whose eyes are dim with tears.
As far the long procession comes, ana
slowly disappears.
Among them ia a wife, and sad. and
weak with weeping,
While he, the loved companion OF h"r
life, for aye Is sleeping.
And by her side. her manly son, to
sOOthe her In her woe,
Although he feels, the loss for both. Is
Keeling from the blow,
And many thousands there, perchance,
who sadly wonder why,
A man so good and great rs he, "aS
called such death to die.
When many millions, "a children hon
ored. more than any other,
And parents wished their sons, like him,
to every promise keep.
So when the race was Won on earth, the
world for them would weep,
To leave their country free and safe.
from every threatened danger,
And hail the face Of death. a friend, and
not as foe, OF stranger,
As did our stricken chief that day, now
twenty years or more,
Who conquered hate with love, In death,
and "never mali1e bore"

advantage at the opera house Saturday
night, when she appeared as "Lenora,
in La Fayorita, Norma, and Lenore in
III Travatore" 10 the latter opera, the
miserere was played, and 1t gave the
prima donna u chance TO show the great
power of her voice, as she has already
shown Its quality and training. In all,
she WAS successful and her reDditions
were enthusiastically Gpplauded, MIR. G..
